MoFo 13 Sundays With Seitan

Hi. It's me again, Seitan, from "Sundays With Seitan." I didn't mean to frighten you away with this video I mailed you last week. Quite frankly I think you've just been brainwashed by all the bad things you've heard about gluten. Why remember when bran was banned and spinach was contaminated, and even certain mushrooms were condemned. Why sure there are always food scares. Damned if I don't remember the botulism scare of 1862. I could have said goodbye to refrieds forever, but what's a bashed can or a bad bean every now in then when you've got all of eternity to fan those flames. Hey you. Over there. The girl with the teff, come back!
﻿

She isn't coming back, Mommy!

That's okay Zuul. That just means that there will be more food for you and Mommy. Bahahahaa. They are all scaredy cats. This is the last time I will try to seduce you all with my culinary charm. NOT! Bahahaha.

Seitan and Roasted Eggplant Wraps with Lemon Cashew Sauce

Serves 4 hungry demons

1 eggplant peeled and sliced into rounds

canola spray

1 box Seitan strips

1 clove of garlic peeled and chopped small

sea salt

1 English cucumber peeled and diced

2 vine ripened tomatoes chopped

1 Kosher pickled diced

4 spinach wraps

Lemon Cashew Dressing

3/4 C raw cashews

3/4 C tahini

juice of one lemon

1 C water

1/2 tsp dill

1/2 tsp salt

1 clove garlic chopped

Spray skillet and cook seitan strips with 1 clove garlic according to package directions. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, line a cookie sheet with foil and spray. Place eggplant slices on cookie sheet and spray eggplant again with canola oil. Cook for about 12-15 minutes.

Meanwhile place cukes, tomatoes and pickles in bowl and make dressing.

Place cashews in bowl of food processor and process until crumbly. Add tahini, lemon and remainder of ingredients. Process until smooth. Salt and dill to taste. A little dressing can be tossed into the cuke mix or drizzled over the wrap.

Please join us next time for Sundays with Seitan. Don't make me come up there and get you. Please don't make me leave the confines of my home. It's way too cold up there where you are and you know that we hardly ever have a cold day in hell.

Hungry demon here to replace the Teff girl who ran away. What's the deal with gluten haters? I mean I get that some people have celiac or real insensitivities, but come on! Gluten is awesome. Bread is awesome, Seitan is awesome!!!

I love seitan! I am most definitely in the ProGluten camp. I mean, obviously some people really can't eat it, but the rest of us... dig in! I am pretty much kookoo for seitan. In fact, I just made a giant batch the other night.

Seitan isn't something I eat all the time, but I definitely enjoy it! Guess I'm a gluten for punishment too! (That was my favorite line in your video.) That looks like a tasty wrap. Do you think Zuul would share? Hmm, doesn't look like it... :)
